It's not available yet, but the world's just so damn poker-goofy these days we thought we'd take an early look at "Stacked"...

Unlike most of the currently available poker simulations for consoles, Stacked will challenge gamers as the AI (artificial intelligence) adapts to playing styles in real time. Players will be forced to learn from their own weaknesses and master the most important elements of No Limit Holdem, deception and perception . The AI system - aka Poki - is the result of over a decade of research in game theory, machine learning, and neural networks. Because of the AI's customization possibilities, players will find themselves going up against a wide variety of player types.

Stacked's Career Mode puts you in the heart of the action as you begin your career as a rookie on the pro tour. Win your way into larger tournaments and build your own reputation against the best in the world. Play your cards right, and you'll be going all-in against some of the real-world pros who have participated in the development of the game.

Stacked will feature a unique, sanctioned multi-table tournament system called "STACKED Masters." When playing online, players can choose to compete in either casual non-sanctioned games or officially sanctioned STACKED Masters games. Non-sanctioned games will allow for private or public games, providing the player with full tournament customization including game type, betting structure, maximum players, and tournament configuration. STACKED Masters includes the same customization features as non-sanctioned events, as well as a comprehensive multi-table tournament buy-in structure.
